Physical Special Effects
National Occupational Standards (Standards) provide a clear, up to date description of what an individual needs to be able do in order to perform a job successfully. The Standards have been developed over a number of years by both people who work in the industry and experts from each occupational area through a process of investigation, analysis and consultation with a wide range of people.
Physical Special Effects (SFX) is a rapidly evolving and technically innovative sector. One of the greatest challenges for this sector is ensuring that all productions, their crew and work environments are safe and working to the highest professional levels.
